3. Pre-Built Formulas & Calculation Logic

Target Cell	Formula Name	Calculation Logic
H2 (Subtotal)	`=F2*G2`	Multiplies units by rate
J2 (Net Total)	`=H2+I2`	Adds subtotal and tax/discount
Sum Net	`=SUM(J:J)`	Total expenditure across all log entries
Avg Rate	`=AVERAGEIF(D:D, "Heavy Machinery", G:G)`	Average hourly cost for category
Count Active	`=COUNTIF(K:K, "Active")`	Total number of currently deployed assets

4. Data Dictionary & Dropdown Validation Rules

Column	Data Format	Required?	Dropdown List Values
Category	Text	Yes	Heavy Machinery, Small Tools, Precision Tools, Logistics, Utility
Status	Text	Yes	Active, Maintenance, Retired, Standby
Owner	Text	Yes	J. Smith, M. Doe, B. Ray, A. Lee, K. Zuo, S. Hall, R. Nash, P. West, L. Chin, T. Moss

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

KPI Metric	Formula Logic	Green Threshold	Amber Threshold	Red Threshold
Active Assets	`COUNTIF(K:K, "Active")`	> 10	5-10	< 5
Maintenance Load	`COUNTIF(K:K, "Maintenance")`	< 3	3-5	> 5
Total OpEx	`SUM(J:J)`	< $10k	$10k - $25k	> $25k

Note: Use Conditional Formatting in Excel/Sheets applying the thresholds above (e.g., cell turns Red if Maintenance count > 5).
